This would be a good place for a discussion of the difference between "percentile" magic resistance (which applies only to monsters and protects against charm monster, polymorph wands, cancellation etc. and usually isn't 100%) and "absolute" magic resistance (which is an extrinsic that protects from magic missile, wands of death, polymorph traps, etc. and is all or nothing). --68.110.235.31 21:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I would disagree with the description as the "number one extrinsic to get". Reflection is equally important, and probably more important than magic resistance early in the game. --68.227.223.254 21:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
